a computational analysis of mental image generation: evidence from functional dissociations in split-brain patients.recent efforts to build computer simulation models of mental imagery have suggested that imagery is not a unitary phenomenon. rather, such efforts have led to a modular analysis of the image-generation process, with separate modules that can activate visual memories, inspect parts of imaged patterns, and arrange separate parts into a composite image. this idea was supported by the finding of functional dissociations between the kinds of imagery tasks that could be performed in the left and right ...20113161979
[hepatitis b immunization--when is a booster injection necessary?].over 10,000 high risk individuals in the zurich area have been vaccinated against hepatitis b with 3 initial injections of 20 micrograms h-b-vax. the question arises whether, and if so when, booster injections should be given. concentrations and persistence of the protective anti-hbs antibodies of 158 successfully vaccinated individuals (medical staff, patients on hemodialysis or with renal transplants) were analyzed. the anti-hbs behaved typically in most individuals, reaching maximum levels in ...20113158072

the impact of long-term lithium treatment on renal function and structure.the effects of long-term lithium treatment on kidney function have been intensively studied. both retrospective and prospective functional studies have shown that prolonged lithium treatment has a profound influence on renal tubular function, and may result in reduced renal concentrating capacity and increased urine volumes. more important, long-term lithium administration at non-toxic serum levels has little demonstrable or no effect at all on glomerular function. prospective studies found no e ...20113147581
bonding of restorative materials to dentine.the potential advantages of bonding a filling material to dentine have long been recognized by the dental profession. such bonding would prevent recurrent decay and would provide a long-lasting restoration. bonding of suitable filling materials to enamel can be easily accomplished by first etching the enamel with acid. this opens up areas in the enamel and permits filling materials to flow into the openings and form mechanical locks. it is not possible to do this with dentine since the acid used ...20113160665
[changes in the pharmacokinetics of gentamycin during nephrotoxic therapy].nephrotoxicity secondary to aminoglycoside antibiotic therapy is a well-known complication in clinical medicine. we have analysed the influence of a 10-day gentamicin treatment with 3.40 mg/d on pharmacokinetic parameters and renal excretion of electrolyses and beta-nag in 10 patients (9 female, 1 males) with utj. using compartment-independent methods the following kinetic parameters at the first and 10th day of treatment were estimated: total body clearance from 100 to 80 ml/min (-20%), mean re ...20113202852

edinburgh emergency asthma admission service: report on 15 years' experience.a hospital self-admission service for asthmatic patients was started in december 1968. during a 15-year period, 195 asthmatic patients were responsible for 873 hospital self-admissions. during the last 3 years there were significantly more night admissions and shorter durations of asthma attacks prior to admission than during the first 3 years. assisted ventilation was necessary on 36 occasions (4%), but one patient was responsible for 28 of these episodes. there were three hospital deaths. one ...20113609186
ionic basis of receptor potential of frog taste cells induced by acid stimuli.1. the ionic mechanism underlying the receptor potential in frog taste cells induced by acid stimuli was studied with single microelectrodes by replacing superficial and interstitial fluids of the tongue with modified saline solutions. 2. the removal of na+, ca2+ and cl- from the normal interstitial fluid did not affect the receptor potential induced by acid stimuli. interstitial 100 mm-k+ saline did not affect the acid response. 3. the receptor potential was reduced greatly when ca2+ was remove ...20113267156
internal chain cleavage and product heterogeneity during edman degradation of isosteric peptide analogs lacking the alpha-carbonyl function.a synthetic peptide analog, with one peptide carbonyl group replaced by a methylene bridge, was submitted to structural analysis by edman degradation. multiple cleavages were obtained in the first cycle, due to phenylthiocarbamylation of the internal secondary amine as well as spontaneous alkaline cyclization and subsequent recoupling with the edman reagent. three fragments from cleavage of the peptide analog after a single edman cycle were purified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chrom ...20113079711

aspects of brazilian paediatric nephrology.brazil is a large country with different population densities in its five geographical regions, each of which has severe but unevenly distributed socioeconomic problems which affect the health care system. this makes the accurate assessment of renal disease in the large paediatric population which comprises 40% of the total population especially difficult. this paper analyses the experience of one paediatric nephrology unit. urinary tract infection affecting 44% of the patients was the most comm ...20113153022
a multivariate approach for classifying hospitals and computing blended payment rates.prospective payment for inpatient hospital care is based on the ideal that hospitals that produce similar outputs, as measured by the types of cases the hospital treats, should be paid similar prices. however, similar output is a multidimensional concept. thus operationalization of this ideal will ultimately require a more complex framework for determining hospital payment rates than currently employed at either the federal or state level. this article illustrates a multidimensional approach to ...20113083160
pulmonary involvement in ulcerative colitis.pulmonary involvement in ulcerative colitis usually presents as a rapidly progressive cough with copious amounts of sputum. although it is rare, distressing symptoms may be relieved by inhaled steroids in 50-60% of cases. three case reports are presented along with a review of the features of 28 other cases.20113048360

intestinal ion and nutrient transport in health and infectious diarrhoeal diseases.absorption of water from the intestine occurs in response to the osmotic gradient as a passive consequence of the active transfer of solutes (nutrients and electrolytes, with na absorption playing a key role) from the intestinal lumen to the serosal side. during intestinal infections, several possible derangements of such a situation may occur, ultimately leading to the shift of net water absorption to secretion and, thus, to diarrhoea. in rotaviral diarrhoea, the mature enterocytes are invaded ...20113069442
criteria for an increased specificity of mri interpretation in elderly subjects with suspected multiple sclerosis.we reviewed the mris of 49 asymptomatic volunteers (age range, 31 to 77 years) and of 50 ms patients (age range, 14 to 63) for areas of increased signal (ais) and features discriminating ms lesions from lesions seen with normal aging. we obtained optimal specificity of mri interpretation (100%) if we required at least two of the following three ais features--size greater than or equal to 6 mm, abutting ventricular bodies, infratentorial location--for a positive mri diagnosis of ms. applying thes ...20113057397

site-specific recombination intermediates trapped with suicide substrates.a family of novel substrates was designed to enable the efficient accumulation of intermediates in site-specific recombination. strategically placed nicks allow these "suicide substrates" to initiate the reaction but prevent its completion or reversal. consequently, it has been possible to determine that lambda site-specific recombination proceeds by a pair of sequential single-strand exchanges. these results rule out that class of models invoking a concerted cutting of all four dna strands. the ...20113040260
alternating non-cross-resistant chemotherapy for metastatic hormone-independent breast cancer.a phase ii clinical trial was designed to apply the treatment strategy of alternating non-cross-resistant chemotherapy regimens to patients with metastatic estrogen-receptor negative or hormone-refractory breast cancer. twenty-six patients received adriamycin and cyclophosphamide alternating at 3-week intervals with the combination of vinblastine, mitomycin-c, and 5-fluorouracil (5-fu). toxicity was moderately severe. two patients developed grade 2 and three developed grade 1 stomatitis. a singl ...20113136644
emphasis on preventive perinatology: a suitable alternative for developing countries.the potential efficacy of preventive interventions in latin america to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality is reviewed. the most important perinatal risk factors associated with pregnancy and delivery are young age of the mother, low socioeconomic status, low education, malnutrition, lack of prenatal care, pregnancy-induced-hypertension, perinatal infections, alcohol, smoking, and iatrogenic causes. adequate data are lacking to determine the magnitude of these factors in latin america. iatr ...20113065947
a use for principal coordinate analysis in the comparison of protein sequences.principal coordinate analysis (pco) was applied to the comparison of protein sequences. a similarity matrix was derived from a dataset containing 21 c-type cytochrome sequences and this was analysed using pco to produce a plot of the first three principal axes. the relationships indicated from this plot are considered in conjunction with those derived by cluster analysis using the upgma method, and the advantages offered by a nonhierarchical method of sequence comparison discussed.20113022735

epithelioid granulomatosis with initial and predominant manifestation in spleen. morphological and immunohistochemical analysis of six cases.in six patients with systemic symptoms, four of which had lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates in the bone marrow splenectomy was performed because of suspected malignant lymphoma, with resolution of clinical symptoms. the spleen showed epithelioid granulomas, and neither splenic tissue nor clinical follow-up revealed evidence of malignant lymphoma. immunohistochemical analysis documented an identical phenotype in epithelioid and giant cells as well as in large numbers of cd4 + lymphocytes and s100 + i ...20113144805
surface charge of macrophages and their interaction with charged particles.the distribution and concentration of surface ionogenic groups on murine peritoneal macrophages and the responses of their plasmalemma to charged markers were investigated by electron microscopy. quantitation of the distribution of cationized ferritin (cf) as a marker for anionic groups on fixed cells revealed surface anions on invaginated parts of the plasmalemma to be fewer than those on flat or projecting segments. cationic groups on the surface membrane, however, could not be labeled with an ...20113164749
clinical findings in 12 patients with mps iv a (morquio's disease). further evidence for heterogeneity. part ii: dental findings.typical dental changes were present in all cases, although they were of variable degree. however, the tooth morphology would appear to be highly specific for mps iv a, and is not found in mps iv b (beta-galactosidase deficiency) or the recently delineated mps iv c (enzyme defect unknown). thus the dental changes have a very useful diagnostic potential in mild atypical cases of mps iv a, although they may only be demonstrable radiologically in some such cases.20113129222
preliminary characterization of a soluble immunosuppressive molecule from dba/2 spleen cells using monoclonal antibody immunoadsorbence.in a previous publication a monoclonal antibody (b16g) which appeared to recognize t suppressor cells and a t-suppressor factor (tsf) in the spleens of dba/2 mice was described. b16g appears to be directed to a public specificity of dba/2 tsf and therefore has been shown to inhibit a variety of immunological reactions. the present study involves preliminary characterization of the material with which b16g reacts. it was found that the b16g-reactive protein (putative tsf) could be absorbed and el ...20113155655

specific reduction of n,n-dimethylnitrosamine mutagenicity in drosophila melanogaster by dimethyl sulfoxide.dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) used as a solvent has been observed to complicate mutagenicity screens by interacting with tested chemicals to yield false positives or negatives. we have used dmso as a solvent in the drosophila melanogaster recessive sex-linked lethal mutation assay and find that it reduces, but does not abolish, the detectable mutagenicity of n,n-dimethylnitrosamine (dmn). its use as a solvent with procarbazine, another promutagen, shows no effect on mutagenicity in drosophila. dmso ...20113119334
major depressive disorder and panic disorder. effects of comorbidity on treatment outcome with antidepressant medications.recent studies suggest that major depressive disorder (mdd) and panic disorder (pd) may coexist in a significant number of patients. the relevance of this association may be such that patients with the simultaneous diagnosis are at risk for more severe psychopathology and poorer treatment outcome. to explore this possibility further, we compared treatment outcome of two groups of patients: one with comorbidity of mdd and pd (n = 19) and another with mdd only (n = 22). patients with comorbidity o ...20113219677
